CGcenter has added compatibility for AnimRef, its image sequence playback utility for 3ds Max, to include versions 2026 and 2027 (for those on Autodesk’s beta program). Though the tool has been available for some time, this is the first time we’ve covered it on CGPress.
AnimRef allows animators to load and play image sequences directly within the 3ds Max interface. It includes a simplified interface with adjustable parameters such as time range selection, time shift, and opacity settings. The time slider remains synchronized with 3ds Max’s timeline, allowing for frame-accurate playback.
